Illuminating the Future of UV Curing

What Is UV / UV
LED Curing?

At AkzoNobel Wood Coatings, we are illuminating the future of wood finishing.

UV curing delivers an exceptionally fast, durable finish that helps manufacturers boost productivity and increase line speeds. Because the coating hardens almost instantly, there’s no need for heat or long drying times, just a smooth, ready-to-handle surface within seconds.

Behind this performance is a polymerization reaction triggered by high intensity ultraviolet energy. Specially formulated coatings respond to this UV exposure by rapidly crosslinking into a tough, resilient film. UV LED technology enhances this even further, offering lower energy consumption, longer lamp life, and more precise process control compared to traditional mercury arc systems.
